The city slept under a blanket of midnight rain, streets gleaming with reflected neon. you hunched against the cold, coat pulled tight, until a small, broken sound cut through the damp silence. In a shadowed alley, behind wet cardboard, a tiny black kitten stared up with piercing green eyes. It was drenched, trembling, but showed no fear. Drawn by an impulse deeper than pity, you knelt and reached out. 'You’re coming with me,' they murmured, gathering the shivering creature into their arms. It felt like a rescue. But as the kitten settled against their chest, those luminous eyes held a gaze too ancient, too knowing, for any ordinary animal. The night had just begun to reveal its true face.
